That of England was under the command of Admiral Dundas, who had his flag on board the Britannia, of 120 guns, his second in command being Rear-Admiral Sir Edmund Lyons, whose flag flew on board the Agamemnon, of 91 guns, a name known to fame.
Isaac claimed to reap an hundred fold, and the parable of the Sower alludes to yields of 30, 60 and 100 fold. Harte Essays on Husbandry, 91, says that the average yield in England in the middle of the eighteenth century was seven for one, though he records the case of an award by the Dublin Society in 1763 to an Irish gentleman who raised 50 bushels of wheat from a single peck of seed!
Service in the field, however, was not to his liking, and, as soon as his period of soldiering was over, he hurried back to Rome to win his spurs at the Bar and climb the ladder of civic distinction. He became Quaestor in 89 on the recommendation of the Emperor, Tribune in 91, and Praetor in 93. So far his advancement had been rapid, but evil times succeeded. Domitian went from bad to worse.
The hammer weighs 15 lb., and has a stroke variable from 21/2 in. to 91/2 in., and makes 250 blows per minute.

Intermediate rolls. Three-high rolls. Vertical dryer. Belt conveyors.
Since that time the price has fallen as low as 91.2 cents per ounce, reducing the bullion value of the dollar to 70.6 cents. Within the last few months the market price has somewhat advanced, and on the 1st day of November last the bullion value of the silver dollar was 72 cents. The evil anticipations which have accompanied the coinage and use of the silver dollar have not been realized.
"The mistletoe," he says, "marks in one sense Venus's temple, for any girl may be kissed if caught under its sprays a practice, though modified, which recalls to us that horrid one mentioned by Herodotus, where all women were for once at least the property of the man who sought them in Mylitta's temple." Rivers of Life, i. p. 91.
"All right," said House, ominously, and as Princeton won, 41 to 15, Janeway must certainly have helped a heap. George played center for Princeton four years, and for three years "Pa" Corbin and George played against each other, and, as cow-boys would say, "sure did chew each other's mane." I don't mean slugged. My brother Edgar '91 was a great admirer of George.

Memoirs of Dr. Burney, ii.91. See post, Aug. 22. see ante, iii. 216.
